yet another whatcar

[aarondbs]

It's 8 weeks until I replace my company car. In the last 5 years I have had a C220 CDi Exec SE (for the Satnav)and a Citroen C5 VTR 160 Tourer. I really liked the Mercedes to drive, loved the RWD, but it was too small for our needs. The Citroen has grown on me as it is comfortable, has acceptable pace, but wallows comically, has lifeless steering and you can't turn the driver aids off! It is also very well equipped and swallows most of our family holiday baggage.

So to a replacement. I do 25 to 30k per annum (my daily commute is 116 miles return), use the car for the odd trip to South of France (I did borrow a caravan once and towed with the Merc....never again).

I would like RWD again, definitely want an estate (and a tow bar for the boat, rather than putting it on the roof), and it must be less than £350 per month lease..... Any thoughts away from the obvious and your own experiences really appreciated.

Why not start by writing down all available vehicles that fit this brief, then whittle down the ones that fall within your lease price?

Off the top of my head I'd have thought there's only really BMW and Merc that offer estate rwd. Maybe the new XF or an outsider like a 300C. Or something left field like a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
